How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

Seems more like sociopathic guac.

That actually doesnt sound too bad. Though I'm surprised with the artificial colors that this is what went with.

I'm sure that's a farrow and ball paint colour.

Can’t find the one where they added a fourth panel

Whoah, I remember all the catchy "not butter" related margarine names. I guess "I can't believe it's not butter" must have consumed them all before today in some act of greasy cannibalism.

“I can’t believe it’s not Guac”

Finally, millenials' financial troubles are over!

"I can't believe we're legally not allowed to call it guacamole"

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of "fruit drink with natural flavors." Not actually juice, just juice adjacent.

Which are you not into? "Creamy" or "zesty"?

I mean I drink oatmilk, and I think it'd be perfectly reasonable to say "milk-inspired drink," but yeah... looking at the ingredients I'd stick to guac or plain avocados, unless cash is real tight.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I saw "tortilla chips with avocado", it had %0.04 dried avocado powder in it. So lower than that?

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Anytime they say its "with" its like homeopathic level

The worst part of this is the lack of hyphen

"Yeah I dunno, Jake...I was just this very moment enjoying this bomb-ass salsa when it hit me...this epiphany just washed over me...I think I want to be a power bottom."

pauses putting guac covered tortilla chip in mouth "...o...ohmigawd...you're not gonna believe this, Mike..."

Imitation tree fruit emulsion

Not sure even British. Saw Tesco on an aboringdystopia post.

Yes.
